I decided years ago that instead of hosting a comment section I’d pull
in comments from elsewhere: first Facebook
(no longer working because of anti-scraping), then
Google
Plus (which means I didn’t lose my g+ discussions when they turned
it down), then LessWrong, Reddit, HN, the EA Forum, and
Mastodon.
Prompted by
Daniel, I’ve now added
Bluesky support as well.
It went pretty quickly: there’s a public URL you can hit to get the
comments on a post as JSON, and fitting that into my existing comment
setup was not bad (commit).
